ABSTRACT
This research is aimed at describing the tendencies of the students’ memory,
cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies which are
used to improve their speaking skills and the effects of the students’ learning
strategies on their speaking skills.
The subjects of this research were the VIII A students of SMPN 5 Depok.
The researcher collected the data by distributing the questionnaires, observing the
teaching-learning processes, and conducting interviews with the students and
teacher. The data were then analyzed using descriptive qualitative method and
based on Oxford’s theory of learning strategies. To get the trustworthiness of the
data, the researcher used the triangulation technique.
The results of the research show that (1) in memory strategies, the students
tend to use the strategy of structured reviewing. It is because the students can
remember learning materials easily using this strategy. (2) In cognitive strategies,
the students tend to use the strategy of using resources for receiving and sending
messages. The resources that are used by the students are English films, English
programs on TV and radio, songs, and dictionary. (3) In compensation strategies,
the students tend to use the strategy of switching to the mother tongue because it
is an easy way to compensate for missing knowledge. (4) In metacognitive
strategies, the students tend to pay attention to the teacher when she speaks
English. It is because they want to understand what is said by the teacher and to
learn pronunciation. (5) In affective strategies, the students tend to use the strategy
of rewarding because this strategy can improve their motivation. (6) In social
strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of asking for correction because
this strategy can help them to identify a mistake that they have made and correct
it. (7) There are nine effects of the use of learning strategies on their speaking
skills, such as the students can remember the materials easily, speak English
fluently, improve their confidence, pronounce words correctly, overcome
limitations in speaking, learn pronunciation and understand what is said by the
teacher, identify the mistake that they made and correct it, improve their
motivation, and monitor their speaking skills’ improvement.Rr. Putri Pranitaningrum
